Kano APC Holds Strategic Meeting as Ganduje Makes First Major Appearance Since Stepping Down as National Chairman
The Kano State chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has convened a crucial meeting aimed at strengthening the party’s structure ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The gathering, which brought together influential party stakeholders, marks the first significant political event attended by Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje since his resignation as the APC National Chairman three months ago.
Ganduje Returns to Kano Political Stage
Dr. Ganduje, who previously served as the Governor of Kano State and later as the APC’s National Chairman, was seen actively engaging with party leaders during the closed-door session. His presence has sparked renewed interest in Kano’s political landscape, especially as the party begins early preparations for 2027.
Key APC Figures in Attendance
Among those present at the meeting were:
-
Deputy Senate President Jibrin Barau
-
Senator Kawu Sumaila
-
Members of the House of Representatives
-
Several former and serving political officeholders
While the agenda of the meeting was not disclosed to the press, party insiders confirmed that a statement detailing the resolutions reached will be issued shortly.
Strengthening APC’s Position in Kano
The meeting underscores the importance of Kano in Nigeria’s political equation, as the state remains one of the strongholds of the APC. Political analysts believe the gathering could set the tone for strategies and alliances leading into the 2027 elections.
What to Expect Next
Observers are keenly watching whether Ganduje’s renewed political activity in Kano signals a stronger role for him in state and national politics, or whether he will focus on playing a behind-the-scenes advisory role within the APC.
The party is expected to release an official communiqué after the meeting, which will shed more light on its immediate plans and strategic direction in Kano State.
